Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup mint leaf loosely packed, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and fresh mint to a simmer until sugar is dissolved, then simmer for 2-3 additional minutes until the syrup begins to get a slight tint to it. Remove from heat, and taste test. Let sit to further infuse for a more intense flavor.
  2. Strain the liquid into an airtight container to remove any particles and the leaves. Store in an airtight container - like a glass jar - in the fridge. It should last for 2-3 weeks if stored properly.

Notes

  • This ratio makes approximately 3/4 cups of simple syrup. Feel free to double the recipe.
  • The strength of different mint leaves may vary, be sure to taste test.
